A vaunted crossing that symbolizes the town of Shibuya. This crossing is world-famous for its traffic and pedestrian volume. It is also called the gateway of Shibuya since the town of Shibuya spreads with the crossroad at its center. When the traffic signal turns green, about 3,000 pedestrians simultaneously begin crossing from all four directions and as such, those who have come to Tokyo for the first time may find it quite challenging to cross it smoothly.Recently, there have been several occasions where many youngsters put themselves in an uproar in the crossing as soon as the light turned green.

It is only recent that television news showing the popular "DJ police" attracted public attention.
